Those are two totally different bikes that have been designed for two totally different purposes. It isn't about which is better. It's about which one is more suited to what you are looking for in a motorcycle. What is your budget? What kind of riding do you do? Have you ridden either? Are you looking to buy used or new? Those are questions only you can answer and once you do I think you will get more answers and opinions

Yea, my last bike prior to my first HD was a full-on dirt DRZ400 that I managed to get tagged/titled sos I could ride Forest Service fire roads. 95% of my motorcycle experience has been spent on dirt. IMHO, I think you'll be more comfortable on a Dyna, particularly if this is your first heavy street bike. I certianly was. Don't think for a second even a Dyna at 600 lbs will handle anything like a 250 lb dirt bike.

The dealer usually has demo models that you can test drive and most also have demo days where they have all their bikes out for test rides. Like others have said, ride/test each bike as they are different animals. Also, depends on what you plan on doing with the bike, day rides, over nighters or longer trips. The Dyna is more suited for day rides while the street glide or a Road King would be more suited for longer trips. Good luck with your decision.
